Chapter 1164 The story is pretty much the same

The tide of battle is chaotic

Fang Xie was like a person who had withdrawn from the matter, quietly watching the development of the situation.

He took this team of more than 10,000 people and pretended to be tens of thousands of people, and he kept circling in a circle within a hundred miles south of Malan Mountain, so that Wei An, the general of Mufu, sent several groups of people over in a row, wanting to see what this team wanted to do. Not only him, but even Thurence had to mobilize a team of about 20,000 men to deploy on the flanks, lest this seemingly idle team suddenly pounce and bite for a while.

Fang Xie was like this, taking a large amount of grain and grass in circles.

But I don't have to worry about not eating and drinking.

"It's done."

When he came in, he had a layer of dust on his face, and he was obviously in a hurry. He first bowed deeply to Fang Jie, and then began to report what he had done: "Lord Wang, Chu Juzheng and Chu Yuanze have already met with General Chen Dingnan, and when the minister returned, at least sixty or seventy thousand Chu people had entered General Chen Dingnan's camp as prisoners of war. In order to make Chu Juzheng feel at ease, this Chu team was handed over to Chu Juzheng to command. ”

"The appointment is tonight."

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Tonight, the Chu people will counterattack with General Chen Dingnan, but it seems that the one named Mo Kesi should have seen something." Before his subordinates returned, he had already mobilized men and horses to retreat and set up the defensive line, but the defensive line was extremely loosely arranged, obviously not intending to prevent us. ”

"He's not going to fight to the death."

Fang Xie pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for Jiu Secai to sit down: "Mo Kesi knows what kind of situation he is, he didn't think clearly about the pros and cons of this matter before the foreigners drove the Chu people to fight. The emperor of the Chu people took refuge in the eastern frontier, but they drove the Chu people to attack the eastern frontier, which was a hidden danger in itself. It can be seen from this that the foreigners' army must be under-armed, and it is a last resort to do so knowing that there are hidden dangers. ”

"If nothing else, Mox will release the water."

Fang explained: "He will involve Xiurensi, and it is impossible for his team to block the two bread clips." His goal is also to pull Shurens into the game and then take advantage of the chaos to profit from it. ”

"Profit?"

After thinking about it carefully, Jiu Secai still didn't understand: "What profit can he get?" His team is now caught in the middle, and Thurence is obviously not of the same mind as him, so this battle is not profitable for him at all. ”

"Yes"

Fang explained: "Although I haven't thought about what Mox's profit is now, since he has put on such a posture, it must be advantageous." If he swept his army into it without the benefits he could obtain, it was impossible for Morx to be reused by Lyman. This man is obviously not to be taken lightly and must be considered from his point of view. ”

Liquor was silent for a few moments, still not understanding what Mox could gain from this battle. It stands to reason that he is the biggest loser.

"What is certain is that foreigners have serious internal troubles."

Fang explained: "The contradiction between Thulens and Morx is actually a conflict of interest between the new magnates and the old magnates within the Opru Empire. You have been in Eastern Xinjiang for a longer time than me, you should know that in the past few years, the army that Lyman sent to attack Eastern Xinjiang has been defeated except for Xiurens's men and horses, and the generals under his command have all died Mu Guangling is so negative, and he can still win several battles in a row, I have to suspect that this has something to do with Xiurens. ”

"Thurence wants to maintain his position and power within the Opru Empire, and he doesn't want to be replaced by young people."

After hearing this, Jiu Secai's thoughts immediately smoothed out: "The minister understands, Thurence is worried that those young magnates have won the battle, and then the emperor of the Opru Empire will have a reason to remove him and replace him with someone else. In this way, his family's interests will be hit. He didn't want to admit defeat so easily, so he began to find ways to stabilize his military position in Eastern Xinjiang, and he did this to show the emperor of Opru, which means that you can't leave me. ”

"So it's hard for foreigners to win this time."

This is the summary of the wine and wealth: "Lord, what do you need to do now?" ”

"Go Check"

Fang explained: "I want to know what Mox wants, he brought Xiurens in is obviously supported by someone behind him, and not just one person, maybe it is a group of interests formed by many people. These are probably the new magnates of Opru, declaring war on the old power of the Thurence and them. And I reckon, Lyman is behind it, he knows everything. ”

"So what you're going to think about is"

Fang Xie analyzed: "What kind of interests does Mox need, think from his point of view. Assuming that this is a declaration of war by the emerging forces in Opru, against the old men like Thurence, and that the Emperor Opru is behind them, then Morx needs a reason to save himself. Thurence may be deposed because of military affairs, but this matter will also involve Mox, in that case, why is Mox not afraid? For he had found this reason so that Lyman could pardon him as a matter of course. ”

"As long as you find this reason, the whole plan of the foreigner will be clear."

"There's one thing my subordinates don't understand."

"If this is Lyman deliberately instigating an emerging force like Mox and them to declare war on an old force like Shurens and them, it will be the strength of the Opru Empire that will be lost after all." As the emperor, does Lyman have to reshuffle the cards at such a big cost? ”

"There could be two reasons."

Fang explained: "Opru's army, except for the army led by Lyman, the armies of other generals are actually soldiers recruited by various families, which means that the army of Thurence is the army of the Thurence family. The Thurence family already has two dukes, and on the foreigner side, the duke's fief will be very large, such as Andrew's hometown of the Duchy of Rus. The Thurence family owns two principalities, which is a great influence on the imperial power, and even if Lyman does not make a move now, he will do it in the future. ”

"Second, Lyman felt that his imperial power was threatened, and that he had to cut off the hidden danger, which must be related to Thurence, and it can be inferred that Lyman had little interest in continuing the crusade."

Fang Xie smiled: "After this battle, maybe the foreigners will negotiate peace with us." ”

This sentence almost suffocated the wine color wealth.

From these clues, Fang Xie actually deduced so much! If Lyman really wants to negotiate peace, then the situation in eastern Xinjiang has entered a new situation.

He glanced at Fang Jie, and felt more and more terrible in his heart

"Actually, it's not hard to speculate."

After the wine and wealth left, Fang Xie chatted with the people around him with nothing. Mu Xiaoxiao and the others all wanted to know how Fang Xie deduced that Lyman actually planned to negotiate peace. After all, from the current point of view, there is no such sign at all. According to the news from the Xiao Cavalry School, the foreigners' fleet began to move frequently, and it was speculated that reinforcements were going to be transported from across the ocean.

If Lyman wants to negotiate peace, why increase the troops?

Fang Xie saw the secret on everyone's faces, smiled and continued: "Lyman is indeed a man of great talent, he can turn a small third-rate country on the other side of the ocean into such a huge empire in just over ten years, which shows his ability. Even if you look at the Central Plains, there are few people in history who can have this ability. ”

"However, such a rapid expansion must have an inevitable drawback."

Hearing Fang Jie's words, everyone's pondering.

"I see!"

The most silent Mo Ning Fat was the first to raise his head, obviously a little excited: "Because of the rapid expansion, Opru, who is a small country, is simply unable to control such a large territory. In order to make the country rise, the strategy used by Lyman was to stimulate the aristocratic power in the country. Let these noble forces recruit armies to fight directly, and then divide a large part of the victory in the war as a reward. This must have stimulated those nobles to start using all the family's capital to expand the army, and then go to war. ”

Seeing that Fang Xie nodded, Mo Ning Grease continued: "In this way, the aristocratic forces that can get huge benefits will inevitably work extremely hard, and Lyman, who has completely stimulated the strength of these people, has also achieved great success from it. If the foreigners' countries are extremely decentralized, then even those first-class powers, the imperial power will inevitably be divided by the nobles, and it is not uncommon for them to suffer defeat in the face of the united Oprus. ”

"Rapid expansion has made Opru the number one power. However, as the emperor Lyman has been absent from the country for a long time, how can his rule over the country be so stable? And the aristocracy, who had shared a lot of benefits, naturally began to expand their desires. For example, Thurence, because of his great contribution to foreign expansion, even Lyman had to make a special exception to the territory of his family's two principalities. If this continues, sooner or later, the contradictions within the Opru Empire will erupt. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "That's right, and the war in Eastern Xinjiang has intensified this contradiction." ”

He said as he paced, "Opuru has always been a windswept way of expanding, which gives all the benefits of endless motivation. But in eastern Xinjiang, it has been more than two years, and their army has still not been able to obtain this land, which makes the contradictions that were originally hidden by huge interests finally erupt. Lyman knew very well that he had no energy to continue the offensive, and what he was in a hurry to do now was to eradicate the people who posed the greatest threat to the country from the state, which means that if internal contradictions really broke out, in order to minimize losses, Lyman had to solve the problem outside of Opru proper. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao and Shen Tianfan obviously can't fit into such a discussion, because it's too brain-consuming.

However, Mo Ningzhi is somewhat interested in this matter of power scheme.

"If that's the case, then you can understand one thing."

She thought for a moment and said, "I've heard that Lyman is known for his liking for young people, and he always says that he likes young generals because young people are determined, but in fact, this is simply a helpless choice. Because he can no longer use people like Shurens, the more they are used, the more powerful the family of people like Shurens will become, directly endangering Lyman's throne. This is actually Lyman's suffering, but it is only promoted by himself as a character. ”

Fang Xie nodded, appreciating the analysis of foam gel.

"So, after Lyman gets rid of Thurence, he will definitely be in a hurry to go back and stabilize his country. Negotiation of peace is an inevitable situation. ”

"As for Thurence."

Fang Xie smiled and said: "In order to keep his own family as the biggest beneficiary of benefits, he keeps creating some things, either directly or indirectly to make those young generals die in battle. Especially on the battlefield in Eastern Xinjiang, this angered Lyman. This was the case with the Great Sui back then, when the emerging forces began to confront the old family."

Fang Xie raised his head and glanced at the sky: "It turns out that in the world, the stories that happen are almost the same." ”
